Re: [PATCH] Split of the normal mode

[phcoder <phcoder@gmail.com>]

I'm actually quite unhappy with the grub's authority in general. Some 
people can commit their patches after a week of no replies while others 
like me have to wait that someone has time to review their patches in 
depth. I already have a collection of patches that are not commited, not 
because someone objects against them but just because nobody qualified 
enough has time to review and commit it. All this despite having already 
signed copyright assignment which because of slowness of FSF took more 
time than it should. From developer viewpoint it's very frustrating 
experience. If I wasn't so motivated as I am I would have already given 
up. IMO opinion if we want people coding for grub2 this has to be 
changed. But now you come and say you want to revert some patches just 
because they seem useless to you or rewrite some code just because you 
find it ugly or because it has a minor bug which could be easily fixed 
without rewriting. IMO this can easily drive developers to fork or leave 
project altogether. And additionally your energy would be much better 
spent in writing new stuff and making/reviewing design propositions than 
rewriting chunks of already working code.
Sorry for being somewhat rude but I really find it frustrating this
